Objective: The aim of the present study was to validate and compare novel methods to
determine aortic blood pressure non-invasively based on Oscillometric Pulse Wave Velocity …

Background Digital photoplethysmography is used to assess hemodynamic variability and
baroreflex sensitivity. Numerous studies have critically evaluated the accuracy of the …

Exercise brachial blood pressure (BP) predicts mortality, but because of wave reflection,
central (ascending aortic) pressure differs from brachial pressure. Exercise central BP may …

Objectives Recently, a novel method to estimate aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV)
noninvasively from an oscillometric single brachial cuff waveform reading has been …

Background and objective The aortic pressure waveform (APW) provides reliable
information for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. APW is often measured using a …

Pulse wave analysis (PWA) utilizes arm blood pressure (BP) waveforms to estimate aortic
waveforms. The accuracy of central BP waveform estimation may be influenced by …

Background: Two fully automated oscillometric devices have become available for the
noninvasive assessment of central aortic blood pressure (BP). They tend, however, to …

Objectives: The Vicorder is a new brachial cuff-based device that estimates central blood
pressure (cBP) using a brachial-to-aortic transfer function. The aim of this study was to …

We read with great interest the study by Grillo et al.[1] which critically evaluates currently
used empirical formulas to estimate cuff-derived brachial mean arterial pressure (MAP) from …

Wave reflection at central arteries consists of a major component of left ventricular afterload.
Central augmentation index (AIx) is the most widely used surrogate of wave reflection …
